Why Teams Work


Why Teams Work (1 of 10)

Teams initiate change

Often those at the top of the organization are challenged by what changes are necessary within an organization. Teams provide a valuable source of feedback.


Why Teams Work (3 of 10)

Teams are collections of the organization’s best assets

Each team member has specific talents. By combining individuals in team fashion, all of these talents are joined to work toward a common goal.


Structuring Your Team (6 of 8)

Ensure that “teams” function as teams.

A team cannot perform effectively if it has not set a clear goal and a structure for its implementation.

Realize the importance of individual commitment level.
